Which islands are on the map

All 13 island countries in the United Nations are here, from Cuba, the largest, to Saint Kitts and Nevis, the Western Hemisphere's smallest sovereign state. For a Caribbean countries quiz, pick The 13 countries under Start from and the territories drop out. The 15 territories are tied to the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands or the United States: Puerto Rico, Aruba and Martinique are three.

How a round works when the islands are tiny

Four more sets zoom the map: Greater Antilles and the Bahamas (8), Leeward Islands (10), Windward Islands and Barbados (6), and Trinidad and the ABC islands (4). 21 of the 28 are too small to tap, so each has a ring. On a phone, zoom to the Leeward Islands first, where ten rings sit close together.

  • From Guadeloupe south, French and English-speaking islands alternate: Guadeloupe, Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia. Then come Saint Vincent and Grenada.
  • The ABC islands do not sit in ABC order. From west to east off Venezuela they run Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire.
  • Dominica is the small island between Guadeloupe and Martinique. The Dominican Republic shares Hispaniola with Haiti, far to the northwest.
